WASHINGTON -- At Cindy Sheehan's side since Aug. 6 when she began her antiwar protest outside President Bush's Texas ranch have been three groups that openly support the Iraqi insurgency against U.S. troops: Code Pink-Women For Peace, United for Peace & Justice, and Veterans For Peace.
Those organizations were represented at a mock "war crimes" trial in Istanbul that on June 27 produced a joint declaration backing the insurgency. Based on the United Nations Charter, it said "the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom."
The Istanbul statement also rejected U.S. efforts to leave behind a democratic government in Iraq, asserting: "Any law or institution created under the aegis of occupation is devoid of both legal and moral authority."
CINDY'S FRIEND COLEEN
Minnesota Republican leaders could not stop smiling when they learned that former FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley, running for Congress as a Democrat, was joining war protester Cindy Sheehan's demonstration.
Republicans were silent but delighted that Rowley would align with extreme antiwar demonstrators backing Sheehan. Rowley became a national hero when she revealed that her warnings about Sept. 11 terrorists were disregarded within the FBI. Since announcing her candidacy against second-term Republican Rep. John Kline, she has become an intense war critic.
Rowley was accompanied to Texas by Democratic State Sen. Becky Lourey, whose son was killed in Iraq. Like Sheehan, Lourey opposed the war before she lost her son.

Between this and Wilson ..
The Loons are gonna blow a gasket over Novak's articles ... *L*
Confirms what we all suspected about "whistleblower" Colleen Riley.
All we need is Barbara Boxer and Ted Kennedy to show up in Crawford and the Democrat Party is finished. They probably are anyway, but a kiss of death from Boxer and Kennedy would be poetic justice
I have to admit ... I am surprised that Boxer didn't go down there to stand with Cindy .. especially since Cindy is from California .. Boxer's own State
I remember her I wonder if they MSN media pick it up I hope they do I wonder if Fox news would have gall to pick it up LOL!
Are you kidding me if Barbara Boxer goes down all that botox treatment would melt in Texas heat don't count on it LOL!
They won't dare shatter incumbency. They're puppeteers that will play only at a distance.
Going back to my state First Uncle in law Ted Kennedy hey he should go down maybe he could lose weight from sweating in that Texas heat
IT IS TRUE
He could lose some pounds LOL!
"the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom."
Justice and freedom...... for women who are forced to stay in their homes wearing burkas and denied an education.
Justice and freedom..... for everyone under the boot of tyrants, for people tortured and murdered by the thousands.
Yep.... I'm sure those people living under the "occupation" of evil American soldiers would rather have the justice and freedom of "leaders" like Usama and Saddam.
I wish other's would follow his lead in exposing Sheehan. But I don't think the msn media wants the truth about who she really is to get out to the public. Any more then they want us to know about all the good things our troops have been doing. It just doesn't fit in their lib slanted handbook.
Cost of Cindy's MBT Sandals: $234.00.
In related news, the earth? It's round.
Blood money! Her son's 400,000 life insurance from the USA she hates so much.
Good for that old curmudgeon, his WWII service has stood him proud.
I feel no sympathy for this woman. Is she back at Crwford yet? I heard somewhere that she was going back today or tomorrow.
